Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering Team

What does the Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering Team do? We are the team that transforms aircraft design into a flying reality. Through close collaborative-development with aircraft design and other engineering disciplines, Manufacturing Engineering "ME" ensures the manufacturing feasibility OTOCOQ of the new products. We are the link to our internal production departments and external suppliers, enabling the manufacturing of parts, assembly, integration, and testing ("MAIT" system) of new aircraft. We are currently scaling the entire Industrial Team. This position is one of several key roles we are opening; we encourage you to explore our other vacancies to find the best match for your expertise. The primary challenge lies in the accelerated development timeline leading to the maiden flight. This requires a team of agile engineers who thrive in a dynamic environment and can expertly manage design evolutions alongside active manufacturing processes.

Mission of the Industrial Architect

• Definition of the industrial system technical baseline appropriate for each program phase: conceptual early trade studies, technology/process maturation roadmap (TRL/MRL) during development and full production architecture as the design matures.
• Coordination of the overall factory/production system: flow type, station sequence and physical/logical layout connecting all manufacturing disciplines.
• Act as central technical coordination point across Manufacturing Engineering disciplines (composites, metallics, tooling, assembly, systems installation and ground test) ensuring their process baselines are compatible technically, in time and in space.
• Lead cross-functional industrial system reviews and trade‑offs with Engineering and Manufacturing Engineering discipline to validate industrial system design decisions against the evolving product design) to keep product requirements, cost, schedule and quality aligned with program targets.
• Define facility and infrastructure technical requirements for the industrial system.
• Technical authority for industrial milestones and decisions (trade‑offs, industrial reviews, configuration change, make‑buy strategy, manufacturing baseline).
• Partner closely with Industrial Management throughout the program – providing the industrial system architecture technical baseline that triggers the production execution, resourcing and delivery decisions, and adjusting the industrial system design as real‑world constraints emerge.
• Contribute to the management of Risks and Opportunities within industrial activities.
• Support the development and implementation of Process Methods and Tools (PMT) and digital systems (MES, PLM, SAP, data systems, security) within the industrial perimeter.
• Ensure all manufacturing processes, tooling and work instructions comply with applicable Airbus Standards, airworthiness requirements and Health and Safety regulations.
• Participate in technology and innovation projects (R&T/ R&D) to close program technology gaps or improve time and cost.
• Advancing in the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) and Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL) of relevant processes and materials.

Required Skills

• Educational Background: University degree in Aerospace Engineering, Industrial Engineering or a related field.
• Additional qualifications in Systems Engineering or Project Management (would be advantageous).
• Technical Expertise: Understanding of (aerospace) design and manufacturing ecosystem.
• Familiarity with simulation and modelling tools for industrial processes.
• In depth knowledge of multiple (at least one) specific manufacturing techniques or processes like Additive Layer Manufacturing, Composites, Low Observability Materials, Generation of Build Processes or Configuration Control.
• Experience in technology maturation/innovation process and in TRL/MRL methodology.
• Several years of professional Experience in an industrial environment.
• Knowledge in MBSE and PLM tools (e.g. CATIA, 3DX) would be advantageous.
• LEAN Manufacturing would be advantageous.
• Systems Thinking: Ability to conceptualize and manage complex, interconnected systems.
• Experience in developing and optimizing large-scale industrial architectures.
• Project Management: Experience managing complex projects and coordinating cross discipline stakeholders.
• Experience with agile project management methodologies.
• Communication: Excellent communication skills in English, both written and verbal, to interact with various stakeholders.
• Knowledge in German would be advantageous.
• Innovation and Problem‑Solving: Creative approach to solving complex industrial challenges.
• Design for Manufacturing & Assembly Mindset: Ability to work in a changing and not entirely pre‑planned environment.
• Able to make assumptions and start working even on incomplete sets of requirements.
• Ability to propose and implement innovative solutions in manufacturing processes.
• Adaptability and Continuous Learning: Openness to emerging technologies and manufacturing methodologies.
• Commitment to continuous professional development in a rapidly evolving field.

Probably you are not a perfect match to the long list of skills above... but you bring the enthusiasm to learn them.

Join the Manufacturing Team... we are waiting for you to build it! This job requires an awareness of any potential compliance risks and a commitment to act with integrity, as the foundation for the Company’s success, reputation and sustainable growth.
